Olivia Rodrigo (8)

What is up fellow familia? Only announcement for now is that I started reveals on the 2020 Ultimate Rank. I'm currently revealing five songs each day and Community Rankings will be available every other reveal. Anyways, for this week Hot 100-wise, we have new music from Pop Smoke, Post Malone, Elle King and more!

The Top 10

#1: drivers license - Olivia Rodrigo (-) [8th week at #1] {8 weeks}

#2: Up - Cardi B (-) [#2] {4 weeks}

#3: Blinding Lights - The Weeknd (+2) [4 weeks at #1] {65 weeks}

#4: 34+35 - Ariana Grande (-) [#2] {18 weeks}

#5: Go Crazy - Chris Brown/Young Thug (-2) [#3] {43 weeks}

#6: Save Your Tears - The Weeknd (-) [#4] {12 weeks}

#7: Mood - 24kGoldn/iann dior (-) [8 weeks at #1] {30 weeks}

#8: Calling My Phone - Lil Tjay/6LACK (-) [#3] {3 weeks}

#9: What You Know Bout Love - Pop Smoke (+2) [#9] {26 weeks} *new peak*

#10: Levitating - Dua Lipa/DaBaby (-) [#5] {22 weeks}

Pretty much no change in the top 10 this week. The only two things that happened were first of all, Blinding Lights and Go Crazy switched places. I never expected Go Crazy to stay near the top for too long and how the heck is Blinding Lights still in the top 3? That's absolutely insane. The other thing that happened was What You Know Bout Love jumping up to a new peak of #9, which is great.

Debuts

#64: AP - Pop Smoke

This definitely isn't Pop Smoke's best. It sounds a lot like Dior, which wasn't my favourite Pop Smoke song. He doesn't sound as good here as he does in songs like The Woo or WYKBL. The production's fine, but it's not that interesting either. All that being said, I still think he has good flow and it's still kind of interesting.

#74: Only Wanna Be With You (Pokémon 25 Version) - Post Malone

So Post Malone released a cover of Hootie & The Blowfish's song Only Wanna Be With You for the 25th anniversary of Pokémon. I'm not sure why they're releasing music for Pokémon's anniversary, but whatever. This song's still good. Post Malone always sounds good and he works really well with this song. I also like how they used some elements of music from the Pokémon games. That's all I really have to say on this one except that I'm sad that it isn't really doing much on radio.

#90: Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home) - Elle King/Miranda Lambert

So Elle King is the person who made the song from I have no clue how many years ago Ex's & Oh's. I think this song's pretty good. Ex's & Oh's wasn't my favourite, but it was still good. Miranda Lambert actually works surprisingly well with this song and with Elle King's voice. The chorus is also quite good. I like the melody in it. I'm glad that this is here and I hope it sticks around for a bit.

#92: Breaking Up Was Easy In The 90's - Sam Hunt

So I really liked Sam Hunt's song Hard To Forget from last year. However, this song is definitely not nearly as good. I remember hearing this huge country song from him from a while back where he actually talked for a while before singing and this does pretty much the same thing. Other than that, the chorus is fine, but nothing here is particularly interesting.

#96: Nobody - Dylan Scott

Great. More slow country music. Just what the world needs. Dylan Scott doesn't sound good here, the song's really boring but the chorus isn't terrible.

#99: Gone - Dierks Bentley

Literally just an annoying country song. That's it.

Best Debut: Only Wanna Be With You (Pokémon 25 Version) - Post Malone

Worst Debut: Gone - Dierks Bentley

Re-Entries

#100: BICHOTA - KAROL G (RE-ENTRY) [#72] {13 weeks}

Alright, whatever. I really don't care that this is back.

Losses

#41: Lonely - Justin Bieber/benny blanco (-11) [#12] {20 weeks}

#56: Body - Megan Thee Stallion (-15) [#12] {15 weeks}

#62: Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen (-10) [#9] {8 weeks}

#89: hole in the bottle - Kelsea Ballerini (-20) [#39] {20 weeks}

#93: Somebody's Problem - Morgan Wallen (-13) [#25] {12 weeks}

#94: Drankin N Smokin - Future/Lil Uzi Vert (-10) [#31] {7 weeks}

Okay, here we go. Lonely was never that great and I'm not sure why it was a decent-sized hit. Body was never good and I'm glad that it didn't do nearly as well as Savage. I've decided that I really like hole in the bottle, which kind of sucks as it's nearly gone. As for Drankin N Smokin, I didn't even really realize that it re-entered, so whatever. No comment on the Morgan Wallen songs.

Gains

#15: Beat Box 2 / 3 - SpottemGottem/Pooh Shiesty / DaBaby (+32) [#15] {7 weeks} *new peak*

#39: telepatía - Kali Uchis (+15) [#39] {2 weeks} *new peak*

#45: My Head & My Heart - Ava Max (+14) [#45] {4 weeks} *new peak*

#49: Astronaut In The Ocean - Masked Wolf (+13) [#49] {3 weeks} *new peak*

#66: Track Star - Mooski (+33) [#66] {2 weeks} *new peak*

#75: One Too Many - Keith Urban/P!nk (+10) [#62] {12 weeks}

#81: The Business - Tiësto (+15) [#81] {2 weeks} *new peak*

#85: Hello - Pop Smoke/A Boogie Wit da Hoodie (+12) [#85] {2 weeks} *new peak*

Yeah, so they did the Beat Box by SpottemGottem featuring Pooh Shiesty or DaBaby thing, which last happened with Lil Nas X's Rodeo with the versions with Cardi B and Nas. Anyways, Pooh Shiesty's verse is decent and DaBaby's verse is great, but SpottemGottem is still there. Anyways, telepatía isn't great, so whatever. I don't really care that it's jumping. I'm really glad that My Head & My Heart is becoming a big hit, as well as Astronaut In The Ocean. Cool to see Track Star getting a big boost from its debut last week. I'm really happy to see One Too Many getting a bit of a second wind here. The Business shouldn't be here and I'm glad that Hello's jumping.

Dropouts

CLOUDS - NF (#53) [#53] {1 week}

test drive - Ariana Grande (#61) [#61] {1 week}

Hit Bout It - Lil Yachty/Kodak Black (#67) [#67] {1 week}

CHICKEN TENDIES - Clinton Kane (#88) [#88] {1 week}

ZAZA - 6ix9ine (#90) [#90] {1 week}

Afterglow - Ed Sheeran (#94) [#29] {10 weeks}

Monster - Shawn Mendes/Justin Bieber (#98) [#8] {14 weeks}

Sucks to see CLOUDS and CHICKEN TENDIES only lasting one week each on the Hot 100. I don't really care about the rest of last week's debuts. I wish Afterglow would've been a bigger hit and I'm surprised Monster hasn't left already, so whatever.
